See full text

A vehicle lighting assembly configured as a headlamp is provided. The vehicle lighting assembly includes a housing defining a light output window and a light source arranged to direct light through the light output window. The vehicle lighting assembly also includes a retractable cover actuatable between open and closed positions. The cover covers the light output window in the closed position to define a light image pattern for light output. The assembly also includes a retractable cover actuatable between an open position to output headlamp lighting and a closed position to output daylight running lamp lighting, wherein fewer LEDs are activated to generate the daylight running lamp lighting as compared to the headlamp lighting.
